  • Maybe they fixed that part, but that isn't a good thing. Now you can't feel whether something is installed as snap and will probably run into snap issues without a clue what could be causing them.

  • CRTs don't have pixels so the resolution of the signal isn't that important. It's about the inherent softness you get from the technology. It's better than any anti-aliasing we have today.

  • Copied from another comment I wrote about that:

    Because snaps are terrible. They constantly break parts of apps for no reason. If you have container issues with a flatpak, just use flatseal to punch a hole through the container. With snaps, people will tell you to install the non-snap version because that's easier than beating snap into submission. I learned that the hard way when I had a university project with kubernetes and docker was installed as a snap. I spent way too much time trying to make it work at all before giving up and switching to a VM on my work laptop where it went surprisingly smooth without snaps.

    Flatpaks are better in every way and since this isn't about money, we should all just move on and use the best tool for the job.

    But what does canonical think should happen when you run sudo apt install firefox and press Y? That's right, you now have firefox as a snap. Have fun waiting for 5 seconds every time you start it.

    Shit like that scares new users away from linux as a whole

  • Use something other than gnome and, while you're at it, you might as well use something other than ubuntu.

    KDE is very hard to break, you can go wild with customization there.

  • Unfortunately you need something with long firmware and software support. Qualcomm is your enemy, they stop updating the firmware of their chips after about two years and that's why android phones often stop getting updates less than 2 years after you buy them.

  • Over here in germany, tipping is synonymous with cash and using the tip feature of apps is frowned upon because it adds an unnecessary middleman.

    Not sure how transferrable that is to other countries, us germans really like cash.

  • Gorilla Glass Victus is just a marketing term. It's still glass, and glass breaks (and gets scratched). Always use a screen protector. If your phone has curved edges on the front, a case is also mandatory because curved screens are very easy to break.

  • 90hz screen with 180hz polling is what my phone uses as well, it's nice that the deck has now caught up to that.

    Also remember to leave your original deck on when downloading games on the new one so it can transfer them locally, which should be faster. There's a setting for that, but I think it's on by default.

  • I know a lot of people my age (early 20s) who use tiktok and have no idea what tracking or privacy mean.

    Kids might be smart, but if this is all they've known and it works well enough they don't pay attention and don't use their critical thinking.
